The life of a Christian is nothing but a perpetual struggle against self; there is no flowering of the soul to the beauty of its perfection except at the price of pain.

We must empty purgatory with our prayers.

As gifts increase in you, let your humility grow, for you must consider that everything is given to you on loan.

Some people are so foolish that they think they can go through life without the help of the Blessed Mother.

Do you not see the Madonna always beside the tabernacle?

Our Lord loves you and loves you tenderly; and if He does not let you feel the sweetness of His love, it is to make you more humble and abject in your own eyes.

Prayer is the oxygen of the soul.
